As We Were In 2010...

Christmas 2010 Part 3...

Christmas 2010 Part 2...

Our Christmas celebration involved 8 days, 8 adults and 2 toddlers all in one house. It was great fun and great chaos! The kiddos played together. Abbie taught Ethan how to have a tea party. Ethan stayed up late and woke up early… exhausting but very fun. In addition to the children bonding, brother...

Thanksgiving With Family...

Georgia.  Did you know we made it to Georgia and back with a 3.5 month old?  That’s something like… a bunch of hours away.  In over 1500 miles, we lassoed a good chunk of 4 states and a sliver of Florida.  Ethan slept most of the way there and back!  That’s quite a feat in my book...

Thanksgiving With Friends...

Forth Annual Friends’ Thanksgiving was great fun with great food.  A big Thank You to everyone and again to the Constantinescu Family for opening up their home to all of us.
